Our focus ranges from the most critical details of research and application to the broadest applications in society, in the U.S. and around the world.
In 2005, the American Society for Nutritional Sciences (formerly the American Institute for Nutrition, established 1928); the American Society for Clinical Nutrition (established 1961); and the Society for International Nutrition (established 1996) merged to form ASN. A roster of Past Presidents of ASN and predecessor Societies is available on our website.
Archives The Society Archives are housed at the Annette and Irwin Eskind Biomedical Library (EBL) [pictured below], at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee. The Archives were deposited at EBL in 1980 through the efforts ofWilliam J. Darby, MD, PhD, American Institute of Nutrition President (1958-1959) and AIN Fellow (1984). E. Neige Todhunter, PhD (AIN Fellow, 1983) and Patricia B. Swan, PhD (ASNS Fellow, 2003) also served the ASN Archives as honorary curators, archivists and research collaborators. The founding days of the Society are archived at EBL via many early records, photographs and memorabilia.
